“For the past decade, Penguin has been producing handsome hardcover versions of their
classics (…) both elegant and quirky in shocks of bright color― –The New York Times Read
more Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was born in Spain in 1547 to a family once proud and
influential but now fallen on hard times. Educated as a child by the Jesuits in Seville, the creator of
Don Quixote grew up to follow the career of a professional soldier. On his return to Spain he found
his family more impoverished than ever before. Supporting his mother, two sisters, and an
illegitimate daughter, he settled down to a literary career and had hopes of becoming a successful
playwright, just as Lope de Vega entered triumphantly to transform the Spanish theatre by his
genius. Although he never knew prosperity, Cervantes did gain a measure of fame during his
lifetime, and Don Quixote and Sancho Panza were known all over the world. Part I of Don Quixote
was published in 1605; in 1613, his Exemplary Novels appeared, and these picaresque tales of
romantic adventure gained immediate popularity. Journey to Parnassas, a satirical review of his
fellow Spanish poets, appeared in 1614, and Part II of Don Quixote in 1615. Miguel de Cervantes
died on April 23, 1616, the same day as the death of Shakespeare--his English contemporary, his
only peer.John Rutherford is a Fellow of The Queen's College, Oxford, where he teaches

Regenta, by Leopoldo Alas and (with others) 'Them' and Other Stories, by Xosé Luis Méndez
Ferrin. This edition of Don Quixote won the 2002 Primio Valle Inclán prize for translation from
Spanish. Read more
